4.13 Setting JP1/IM - View for each login user

You must set up a JP1/IM - View GUI environment for each JP1 user who logs in to JP1/IM - Manager. You can specify settings such as the viewer memory buffer size for buffering JP1 events and the display items for events.

Customize the settings, if necessary. The following are the items that can be set:

• Whether displayed information is to be refreshed automatically and a refresh interval if the information is to be refreshed automatically

  If there are JP1 events that cannot be displayed, shorten the refresh interval.

• Number of JP1 events that can be displayed in the Event Console window (scroll buffer)

  If there are JP1 events that cannot be displayed, increase this value.

  If you want to reduce the amount of memory used, reduce this value.

• Number of events to acquire in the Event Console window at updating

• Number of events to acquire per search

• Items displayed in the events list

  You can add and delete the items that are displayed in the events list columns.

  The items that you can specify include event level, registered time, source host name, user name, message, object type, event ID, start time, end time, product name, object name, root object type, root object name, arrived time, action, occurrence, serial number, source process ID, source user ID, source group ID, source user name, source group name, source serial number, type, action type, original severity level, new severity level, Event source host name, and memo. If the severity changing function is disabled, the original severity level and the new severity level are not displayed. If the memo entry settings are disabled, no memo is displayed. If event source host mapping is disabled, no event source host name is displayed.

• Whether the state of a page that is displayed in the Event Console window is to be saved

  You can specify whether to save the state of view filters and the View filter check box in the page (Monitor Events page and Severe Events page) selected in the Event Console window at logout of JP1/IM - View, and restore the same state at login.

• Whether the column widths for the items displayed in the events list in the Event Console window are to be saved

  You can change the column width for an item displayed in the events list by dragging the edge of the column with the mouse. If you change a column width on one page (such as the Monitor Events page), that column's width also changes on the other two pages (Severe Events and Search Events pages). You can specify whether column widths are to be saved at the time of logout.

• Font size of the text in the events list in the Event Console window

  You can change the font size of the text displayed in the events list in the range from 12 points to 72 points. Increasing the font size improves the readability of text when, for example, a large monitor is viewed from a distance. You can change the font size of the text in the events list displayed on the Monitor Events page, the Severe Events page, and the Search Events page in the Event Console window.

• Whether a background color is to be applied to specific events displayed in the events list in the Event Console window

  You can apply background colors to specific types of events that are displayed on the Monitor Events, Severe Events, and Search Events pages.

  This setting is applicable to events with the event levels Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Debug, Notice, Information, and Warning.

  You can change the text color and the background color of contained events in the system color definition file (systemColor.conf). For details, see System color definition file (systemColor.conf) in 2. Definition Files in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference.

• Whether consolidated display is to be used for repeated events

  You can specify whether to use the repeated event consolidated display function to consolidate a large number of identical events that occur in a short period of time for display in the Event Console window.

  Select the Enable check box in Display most significant status, and then set a timeout value for the events being consolidated.

  If you change the Display most significant status setting, event consolidation based on the new setting is applied to events that are received after the setting takes effect. If you log in again after changing the setting, event consolidation starts with the new setting.

  Note that when you enable the function of preventing monitoring of repeated events, the repeated event consolidated display function cannot be used.

• Number of rows to be displayed as execution results in the Command window

• Display of events that occurred during a specified period

You use the Preferences window of JP1/IM - View to specify the settings. These settings are specified and saved for each JP1 user who logs in to JP1/IM - Manager.

To set JP1/IM - View for each login user:

1. Start the Preferences window.

   In the Event Console window, choose Options, and then User Preferences.

2. Adjust the parameters.

   Adjust each parameter as necessary

For details about the parameters that can be specified, see the following:

• About the Preferences window

  See 2.22 Preferences window in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager GUI Reference.

  Important note

  A user profile also contains information about these settings. However, you should not use the user profile to directly change attributes and attribute values that are not listed in User profile (defaultUser | profile_user-name) and Description in the manual Job Management Partner 1/Integrated Management - Manager Command and Definition File Reference. If such changes are made, JP1/IM - View may not function correctly.
